Great chart D.I.O.

I do tend to get outraged as to how this club seems to be habitually shafted in both men’s and women’s fixtures. Luckily though the AFL can’t predict what teams will go backwards and what others will stagnate. 
That draw shouldn’t end up being as difficult as it initially looks.

Apparently we also go interstate more than most Victorian teams too, but that’s almost a good thing as the team seem to travel well together.  
I am really forward to this season 

 

Gotta love the AFL: Gather Round 2024 is sorted nine months out but still won’t reveal the times and dates for the last H&A round this year, which begins in less than four weeks. 🙄 

Last week we were told the announcement of such would be made on Sunday just gone. But because of the unexpected number of upsets on the weekend, they’re scrambling to come up with a round 24 fixture that will maximise TV viewing. I’m paraphrasing but that’s in essence what they’ve said. The cheek!

We all know it’s the TV audience numbers that dictates these things but ffs there’s still many of us who attend matches and they’re not making things easy. Flights and accommodation are so expensive as it is but when you have to go interstate earlier and/or stay there longer so as to cover all possible game times it’s all the more difficult to afford.

I’m often asked if the Club pay for some/all of our costs and the answer is no, they don’t. We choose to go. *We even use our luggage allowance to take all our gear. Our Club is so supportive of us but no one expects them to pay for us to attend interstate matches.

*just a little brag… MFC boasts the highest rate of cheer squad interstate travelling, that’s in terms of numbers of members as well as frequency. We’re almost as full when interstate as we are at home.

*puts trumpet down*

Anyways, whinge sesh done and dusted. 😉

My first ever AFLW match that I’ll see in person will be the Rnd 10 Brisbane game. Two questions

Does anyone know when they will announce the actual date it will be played? 

Is anyone else going? I would love to meet up with any other Demonlanders before, during or after the game.

Still no idea of day or time. It won’t be the Thursday night since both teams play on the Saturday of the previous round and that would mean a 5-day break. So it’ll be on the Fri, Sat or Sun. We’re being told we’ll know the time and date after round seven. As soon as we’re told, I’ll post it here.

I’m almost certain to be going, the only thing causing doubt is the cost of flights. It’s on Melb Cup weekend so we can expect a hike in airfares, how big a hike we don’t yet know. I’m also hoping to FIFO same day.

Hope to meet you at the match!!!

You'll be flying in the other direction. That could mean some cheaper 'backloading' flights?

Although, yes, the long long weekend may generate escapees...

Thanks WCW. I love this section of Demonland, it is so blumin collegial. Although it probably doesn’t hurt that our girls are so dominant 🤣🤣

I’m happy to park myself here for the time being. It’s a haven amongst the other depressing threads. 😩

But our girls are definitely on song. Tough assignment this Saturday vs the Crows, the only other unbeaten side, but I’m confident we’ll get the job done. The cherry on top would be to not break our record of holding the opposition goalless for the last quarter in the last 14 matches. But that may be asking for too much. 🤭

I just automatically thought interstate footy match + long weekend = jacked up airfare. I guess it’s force of habit since this is always the case with the men’s. I do hope it’s the case that the flights are reasonably affordable. When it’s a 10-round season (thanks a bunch, AFL!) I don’t wanna miss attending.

🐘 in the room, and as if you didn't have enough MFCSS fuel: the women are now playing the home-and-away part of Season 8 for this $1 million.

Like I said on this week's game thread, serious football.

With 4 rounds to go, Melbourne leads on 108 points, half a game ahead of Collingwood and Brisbane on 104 points and one-and-a-half games ahead of Adelaide on 96 (women's matches are worth 8 points cf 4 for the men's). Carlton is the only other contender; it will reach 118 points if it wins its 4 games, vs 7th, 11th, 12th and 16th.

Melbourne plays 3rd and 20th at home and 4th and 17th away.

Collingwood plays 8th and 9th at home and 6th and 13th away.

Brisbane plays 1st and 2nd at home and 5th and 11th away.

Adelaide plays 3rd and 18th at home and 4th and 17th away.

Collingwood. Ugh.

2nd and 13th, Tim. North beat Freo by 45 points and kept them to 3.3.21 and are now above us on percentage.

Yeah, saw that - a 10 pt loss and our % drops by 70!!!

If both Melbourne and Brisbane keep winning, that last round match between us could be playing for a $1 million.

The lions have regressed. Beaten at home by Richmond and the pies. North should have beaten them as well, (north coughed up a big lead against them). The crows will be odds on to beat as well.

Can’t see the lions beating us. 

Hopefully Saturday's performance was something we had to get out of our system. The games against North and Brisbane are massive in the context of this season, and the $1M prize money. 

Collingwood's draw has been extraordinarily easy this year, dodging all of Adelaide, Brisbane and North. Thankfully they are not a great team, but they could win their last four games. Who knows what to make of Brisbane - they are probably a little behind the best teams, but are capable on their day. Adelaide could well win their last four, especially with a home game against North.

THE GRAND Final rematch between Brisbane and Melbourne will take place on the Saturday night of round 10, with dates and times now locked in for Pride Round.

The Lions and Dees will lock horns in a clash that could decide the order of the top four - and the winner of the $1 million prize for the McClelland Trophy - at Brighton Homes Arena at 6.05pm AEST

Top spot and $1M on the line - no pressure!

We have the game to win the lot.

No need to fear the Crows. Lions showed how to beat them. Match them on the inside and burn them on the onside.

Lions in Rd 10 will be a tough one. If we have Tayla back we're favourites. Zanker and Tayla a formidable double act. Lions do not have the same firepower. I hope Tayla's injury heals and she's fully fit for the business end of the season. she is crucial for us.

it's clear we are the top three sides in the competition this season

crows played us off the park for two quarters at our home ground - they'll be tough to beat in finals

i think bears are a bit the same, and that's why the final home game of the season is so, so important

i WANT that mclelland trophy

Crows will be tough for sure but remember we had the better of them for 2 quarters as well. Once we match them on the inside, not easy i know, we have their measure.

My preference is to win the flag. To put us in the best position to do that we need to beat the Lions and i think we're better than them. Wardlaw was a big loss for them. they are not finishing their good work whereas we have Zanker (having a career best year i reckon) and Tayla. Not to mention Kate Hore.

I'm confident we'll win McClelland cup AND the flag.

Go Dees.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
